Which Rolleiflex is better…? (see details)?
I’m deciding which to buy, a Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5 Tessar Carl Zeiss TLR Film Camera or a Rollei Magic Twin Lens Reflex Camera Xenar 75mm F2.8. The second one is almost half the price.
Which one is better? Would it be the better decision to buy the first one even though its more expensive, or should I go with the cheaper? Or are they all good? Haha.
Birds fly, cheetahs run, and Rollei makes good cameras. Really, they don’t make junk, and any Rollei that you buy (that still works) will serve you well. Is this a Rollei Magic TLR or a Rollei Magic II TLR? There’s a big difference, as the first version did not allow for nearly as much control over exposure. The RM II did have a manual exposure option.
Were it my choice, I’d take the Rolleiflex. This is a classic camera, it has collection value and if you treat it well it will likely outlast you. I’d stay away from the Rollei Magic I especially — it’s a great camera, but without some of the exposure controls, you will not have the same photographic flexibility.
